Butterscotch chips

Butterscotch chips are small, solid pieces of soft and creamy caramel, ideal for adding a sweet touch and a special texture to various baking and dessert recipes. These chips are characterized by their intense butterscotch flavor with buttery notes, making them perfect to incorporate into cookies, muffins, brownies, ice cream, or as a decoration on cakes.

The origin of butterscotch chips is directly related to the tradition of candy and sweet making in countries with a strong baking culture, especially in regions of Latin America and the United States, where this type of ingredient is very popular for giving desserts a unique and creamy flavor.

Regarding their properties, these chips provide a sweet and buttery flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate, vanilla, or nuts. Furthermore, their creamy texture remains firm during baking, melting slightly without losing its shape, which enhances both the flavor and appearance of the preparations.

In Hispanic America, butterscotch chips may also be known as creamy caramel pieces, dulce de leche crunch, or simply buttery caramel bits, depending on the country and local culinary tradition.
